Jeff Jarrett wants to see Baron Corbin succeed.
After over a decade with the WWE, Baron Corbin is now a free agent and could be planning a run on the independent circuit which could lead to him landing somewhere in Mexico, Japan, or in a company that he could extend his hard work in. When asked about Corbin’s departure, this is the advice Jeff Jarrett had to give to the former WWE star.
“A gentleman like Baron, love the guy. He’s a professional athlete, so his pedigree speaks for itself in volumes. But social media’s his best friend, or it can be your worst enemy. But you have an immediate connection. People don’t click on and say, ‘I’m gonna follow, just as an example Baron Corbin, because I hate the guy.’ No, I’m gonna follow him, I have at least a mild interest. Okay, figure out those to create that funnel, and that funnel is to cultivate that audience. So get a strategy. You fail to plan, you are planning to plan. So get a plan in place, and part of that plan may be, let’s recalibrate and figure out what the next step is. But a guy with his athletic ability, with his name value, with the amount of different places to work, in Japan, in Mexico, as we talked [about], the Middle East, there’s a lot of opportunity out there. Is he gonna make the money of WWE? I would not look at the first 12 months and say, ‘Hey man, my 1099 has to be this amount.’ To me, he is starting fresh in the Baron Corbin business. He is no longer under that umbrella. So when you’re starting a startup business, what do you gotta do? I’ve gotta invest in this. I’ve gotta my time, I’ve certainly gotta invest my talent, and I probably gotta invest some dollars, and I would look at it as such,” Jarrett said on his My World podcast.
Jarrett currently works with All Elite Wrestling where he is currently looking to aid the AEW roster against the Blackpool Combat Club’s anarchy around the arena every single week.
